Our democracy is at stake....and now more than ever we need President Obama to LEAD. [View all]

Russia hacking our election, Trump "winning" and appointing people who's views define any sort of reason or logic, a standing Supreme Court appointment on the line, etc.

While I love President Obama, we need him out there every single day questioning why Russia has been allowed to infiltrate our election system and our country. He should be setting up special committees in Congress and directing the NSA, the CIA, and the FBI to find out everything they can. There must be hundreds of instances out there specifically linking Trump to Putin, and we need to force votes in congress so they will actually stand up for our country or be caught lying and risk being held accountable.

Now more than any time over the past 50 years, we need a leader who will fight for what is right, address the nation, name names. If there was a violent terrorist attack you would see wall to wall news coverage, yet while the terrorists are attacking now the President and the news media are silent.

I'm just baffled, dumbfounded, scared. The terrorists must be thinking "this was too easy, we've been doing it all wrong this whole time", and our current leaders are just sitting there watching it happen.
